Midnight Promises

Back of the Book

When Elliott Cruz first courted struggling single mom Karen Ames, it was a romance worthy of any Sweet Magnolia fantasy. The sexy personal trainer made it his mission to restore Karen's strengthphysical and emotionaland to charm her children.

Now, a few years into the marriage, colliding dreams threaten to tear them apart. Elliott's desire to finance the business opportunity of a lifetime with their hard-earned "baby money" stirs Karen's deep-rooted financial insecurities. It's the discovery that their brother-in-law is cheating on Elliott's sisterand thinks it's justifiedthat puts their irreconcilable differences into perspective. Will their own loving fidelity be a bond so strong they can triumph against all odds?

Sherryl Woods's Bio

After graduating with a degree in journalism from Ohio State University and working in the newspaper business for many years, the first time Sherryl Woods sat down to write a novel, she struggled with the lack of quotes and pages of facts she was used to having. And then, thanks to a very perceptive friend, she realized she got to use her imagination to make it all up!

Since then, for more than 100 women's fiction, romance and mystery novels, Sherryl's been making up all sorts of things -- characters, storylines, entire communities. The best part, she says, is that her heroes do exactly what she tells them to do, unlike any of the men she's ever known.

But even though Sherryl's allowed her imagination free rein, she still likes to write novels that are grounded in reality. "I want my characters and situations to resonate with my readers. Nothing pleases me more than to hear from a reader that she'd been through exactly that situation, and it all rang true for her. Better yet, that she, like the heroine not only survived, but thrived!"
